Karnak - When The Doors Are Closed (7'', 1984)

Karnak were one of the most impressive exponents of the florentine dark-wave scene, togheter with their friends Neon, Polyactive/Pankow and Litfiba. They printed officially only this 7'', on the storical label Electric Eye, directed by Claudio Sorgi: obsessive rhytms adapt well to the liquid harmonies of guitar, and the hysteric and lamenting vocals are fantastically inserted into the general context, alongside strident pseudo-noise effects. Simply great.
